- Light apricot flowering vine
Give your fence line or trellis a dose of “Ole!” with this light apricot flowering vine. Specifically suited for areas where you want vertical interest, planting mandevillas along your fence or in a pot with a trellis make a wonderful focal point in your landscape or patio garden. A newer color for mandevillas, this light apricot pink flower with a glowing yellow center covers the medium green slightly cupped leaves and can vine up to eight feet.
Native to the Southwest US, Mexico, West Indies and South America, this specimen flowering vine can make a colorful splash in the cooler climates of Zones 3 to 9 in the spring after the last frost. It lives in full sun to part sun in most areas of the country, and enjoys some light shade in extremely hot regions where it can provide year round blooms. After temperatures fall below 45 degrees though, this annual will go dormant and will be killed off by a frost. Bring it indoors for the winter and set it out again when warm weather returns.
Sun Parasol Apricot Mandevilla Care
Mandevillas are an easy plant to grow with proper care. Regular watering when dry, fertilize with a high phosphorus fertilizer to encourage prolific blooms and watch for aphids, mealy bugs and spider mites which are attracted to this vine. Insecticidal soap or Neem oil applications may be necessary to keep this plant healthy and are essential prior to bringing indoors for the winter. If you bring this indoors, it will go dormant, but with proper care it will come back in the spring when the weather warms and you set it back outside. Mandevillas thrive in a neutral soil with a pH range of 6.6 to 7.8.
Deadheading is not required on this vine as the blossoms will close and drop off. It is a continuous rebloomer when it is happy, so get ready for a season long display of color. Trim vines if they overstep their bounds, or let them happily trail for a massive display.
Sun Parasol Apricot Mandevilla Spacing
Space plants from 24 to 36 inches apart and give some support system for them to grow on. It is not unusual for this vine to reach up to 8 feet long and spread up to 36 inches. A large container with a trellis lends visual interest and gives this rambler great support to start its upward climb. Pair with ground cover annuals to provide visual interest and aid in maintaining good moisture control on your soil and suppress weeds.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
